Just had another thought -- you mentioned netrw. There's no reason
said helper function can't be implemented as simply

    local("vim sftp://%s/%s"; % (env.host_string, remote_path))

if that's your preference. Yes, it's a tad silly, but again, lacking a
way to invoke and use vim on the remote end via Fabric, it may do the
trick.

Best,
Jeff
